[DM-MUG] new Scanner...

[Victoria L. Herring]

I was sent a gift from my sister, a Pentax DSMobile 600 scanner 
which, on looking at the website, needs driver download from Pentax 
but then apparently may or may not work with software I have or use ==
   14.


Some examples of how the DSmobile 600 will interact with MAC software 
applications:

The DSmobile 600 scanner should work as an input device with any 
TWAIN-enabled software on the Macintosh.  TWAIN is a standardized 
interface between scanners and application software that is built 
into most graphical application software.  Below are two examples of 
the use of the scanner with MAC applications software that have TWAIN 
built in.  You will have to download the DSmobile 600 driver software 
from the Pentax web site and then check your own software suite to 
see if the DS600 scanner works with your specific application.

I guess I'm not inclined to keep it and use it...mainly because one 
is Photoshop CS2 which I don't have and the other they talk about is 
MSWord which I don't like to use.

Am I right [I can return it and get the Fujitsu, which I know works] 
to be 'suspicious' of this -- i'm sure it'll work but it seems alot 
of hoops to jump thru.
